Chapter 1: Dreams of coffee.
Ed.
Sitting at the coffee shop, I realised that it was my 10th time that week. At least it was better than the eternaly silent library in which the book in my hands came from. A server re-filling my coffee cup brought me back to reality as I began to space off again. I guess thats what I get for pulling 3 all-nighter's in a row.
Smelling the rich scent of the freshly brewed coffee woke me up slightly more than my current state, though with only 9 hours of sleep in the last 72 hours, it didnt help much. Taking the last bite of my long-forgotten doghnut, I realise what time it was. 3:30am. Sighing, I sipped the scalding dark coffee, paid, and slipped out of the coffeeshop.
The cold wind hit me like a frosty wave. The metal of my automail began working sluggishly in the cold, but I managed to make it back to the room without freezing up completely. I looked at the clock as I sneaked into the room. 4am. Al was already asleep, or what he concidered as sleep. Seeing the bulky shape on his bed, I realised that he had to be uncomfortable in the armour, even if he was just a spirit.
I sigh and make my way to my room, wondering how life would have been if mother did not die...die...die...die...
Waking up to being shaken is not the best way to start a morning. Or was it afternoon? Al stood just next to me, looking as expectantly as a suit of armour could. I look at the clock. 7am. Well, thats 3 hours down. I yawn tiredly and stand up. My automail leg creaks a bit, and I wonder if I'm standing on a door with un-oiled hinges than the old automail. A reality check tells me not.
"Brother?" Al looks at me, a worried tone in his voice.
"I'm fine." I murmer, making my way into the bathroom. I know I dont fucking look fine. A look in the mirror agree's with me. Bags under my eyes as big as Timbuck To, and my hair looks like I just got struck by lightning. Brilliant.
A few minutes later and I shuffle out of the bathroom, my hair back to its normal braid. I splashed some cold water onto my face, but I realise as it drips down onto my shirt it didnt help. Much. I think it just made Al look a little more worried. "See you later." I murmer, grabbing by book and heading out. Another day at the library... Joy. My enthousiasm clearly shows as I head towards the libary. The streets are empty.
Before I knew it, I was on the ground. Blackness swirled everywhere, and the only thing that registered was that I had passed out. It was strange, though, because I was dreaming. Dreams of coffee.
Aieta: Well, Thats all that I could squeeze out for my first chapter -'
Ed: Thats IT! Just some random babble? It wasnt even that chilly, anyways!
Al: ... Brother? Can you just let her finish? ..
Ed: Fine... (-.-")
Aieta: -" Please Review! Oh, and did I mention to bring Skittles?
Roy: Dont give her any more sugar. Its bad enough we have to deal with her like this. Just review.
Aieta: TT
